[hr][b][i]• Shine Junction, at the hairdressers •[/i][/b][hr][/center]
[b]"So, what do you think?"[/b]

Aya hadn't been paying much attention for the past hour or so as the barber cut her hair, but now that she had actually finished it was time to snap herself out of dream world and back into reality. Aya hadn't even noticed her hair fall to the ground as all those luscious locks were chopped off, she had been that caught up in her thoughts on this particular Sunday morning. A Sunday in which she would have a very long shift at her workplace in Mochavine, in about an hour.

Aya looked up at the mirror. She examined herself closely, only now realising just how much hair had been chopped off. Aya thought her hair was already quite short at its original slightly-above-chest length, but now that it had been snipped into a pixie cut that barely fell down to her chin, it was shocking to see how much of it was now gone.

[b]"Ma'am? Is there anything else you would like me to do, or is this good?"[/b]

[b]“[color=DarkSlateGray]Oh, yeah, right. No, It's fine now, I like it. Thank you.[/color]”[/b]

And with a quick smile of gratitude and an exchange of cash, Aya was out, now on her way to work with this great new haircut of hers. It was definitely the best decision Aya had made in a while, getting such a great, absolutely [i]great[/i] looking haircut...

As soon as she was out of view from the hairdressers, Aya began to curse under her breath and cover the top of her head with her hands.

[b][i][color=DarkSlateGray]Why did I think it was ever a good idea to cut all my hair off, I must be stupid I just wasted money on a haircut that makes me look like even more of a man I thought I didn't want to have this problem anymore—[/color][/i][/b]

It was a Sunday, and Sundays were always used to complain about her first world problems, usually to herself. But sometimes, it was hard to predict when and where Aya would end up venting her minor frustrations.

After a thirty minute bus drive Aya was at Mochavine, arriving long before the café's lunch time rush during the early afternoon hours. She was always paranoid about her own punctuality, so it wasn't a surprise to see her roughly half an hour before her shift officially started. As soon as she entered, her fellow employees behind the counter simply gawked at her, specifically at her wonderful new haircut. Some of them complimented her which was nice, and some giggled and joked which was annoying but expected. She still got angry at them, though.

A few minutes of slight bickering between baristas later, Aya was brewing drinks for the next wave of customers. Busy coffee making and would ensue, and now it was eleven and Aya was already done with the whole serving customers a nice cup of coffee thing. And for some reason it was unusually busy this Sunday morning, so Aya found herself dashing between machines and fumbling over coffee cups faster than usual. But this job actually had decent pay and was keeping her financially stable, so she would continue for the next couple of hours.

As she went to work on someone's chocolate espresso, Aya snuck a glance at the rest of the baristas behind the counter. Iris, one of the girls she was more 'familiar' with, seemed to be grinning down at her own cup of coffee, just like Aya usually caught her doing. Peeking over her shoulder, she looked down at the other woman's cup, eyebrow raised.

[b]“[color=DarkSlateGray]Black coffee? Huh, that's kinda plain, isn't it—[/color]”[/b]

[b]"One fresh cup of black coffee ready for consumption!"[/b] Iris said, perhaps a bit too loud for Aya's precious eardrums to handle. Aya noticed one of the waitresses giving her an odd look, and Aya too would give her a similar look of concern. After calling over another waitress to serve a chocolate espresso someone had ordered, the woman looked back at Iris, letting out a small sigh.

[b]“[color=DarkSlateGray]I'm sure that waitress heard you loud and clear, Iris,[/color]”[/b] Aya muttered.
